Caan anyone answer these PC questions.....

1) I've read people talk about how dual GPU cards aren't too good in SLI, can anyone explain why they don't scale well or whatever too well? I planned on getting R9 290X SLI but not sure if it will be a bad choice to or not. Any thoughts anyone?

2) Windows 8.1 uses tiled resources which uses on board RAM. Is this a reason to get ram faster than 1600Mhz? Also is this a reason to go with 16GB of ram instead of *GB? I haven't heard if there's a cap on the amount of on board ram this can use.

3) My 5 year old rig uses a 60GB SSD. Should i get one 256GB SSD or get two 128GB SSD's in Raid 0? Is there much difference? Or should i just get a 128GB for the OS and use the second 128GB for applications and games instead?

4) i have a Q9400 right now, whats the best CPU to upgrade to just to make it through 2014? I plan on builiding a 8 core haswell beast but i need something now as its almost impossible doing vide editing with the Q9400. should i do the i5 3570K?

Any answers would be appreciated.

1. The performance increase of adding a 3rd GPU is mediocre at best, and the 4th is just crap.

2. Depends on what you use your computer for.

3. Just get a 256 GB SSD. The performance increase of RAID 0 for SSDs isn't worth the risk.
